Extending JMP

External Data Sources, Analytical Tools, and Automation

This chapter discusses scripting features that are particularly useful for production settings, such as the following:

a data feed for capturing real-time data from a laboratory instrument

using SAS, MATLAB, R, or Python through JMP Scripting Language (JSL)

using JMP with Microsoft Excel

connecting to databases

controlling JMP externally by OLE automation

parsing XML

publishing to JMP Public or JMP Live

communicating with REST web services

communicating with web APIs

Some general JSL commands that might be of particular interest for use in a production setting include Caption, Speak, Print, Write, and Mail. These commands are described in Functions that Communicate with Users in the Programming Methods section.
